Case Study: YMCA of Greater Rochester breaks down silos for strategic capital planning with AkitaBox

YMCA of Greater Rochester completes 146 inspections in under 20 business days with AkitaBox

The YMCA of Greater Rochester faced significant challenges with reactive maintenance, departmental silos, and a lack of accurate asset data across its 17 locations. Its outdated Excel-based system hindered strategic capital planning and created barriers between its facilities and finance teams. To address this, the organization turned to AkitaBox for a modern facility management solution, specifically leveraging its Capital Management module and Insights dashboard.

By implementing AkitaBox, the YMCA broke down silos and fostered a new era of collaboration between facilities and finance leadership. The solution provided comprehensive visibility into hundreds of assets, enabling data-driven capital planning and a systematic approach to prioritizing investments. The results included executive enthusiasm that drove cultural change, the rapid completion of 146 inspections in under 20 days, and the approval to hire a dedicated system administrator, firmly establishing facilities as a strategic partner in the organization's success.
